Are delay sprays safe and effective?

I've struggled with premature ejaculation and I'm thinking of using a type of product called delay spray. I've looked into different ones out there like Promescent and Steady Freddy (yeah, weird name). They're supposed to desensitize your penis so you can last longer. Do these products generally work with helping men last longer during sex? Are these products safe to be using regularly?

Delay sprays are generally just numbing sprays. So long as you aren't allergic to lidocaine or similar products, they are generally safe. You can also use them with condoms.

On average, they add about 3-4 minutes of time for you.

Have you spoken to a doctor about your issues? Have they found the cause for your problem?

These sprays are meant to use all the time, and I don't know how often you plan to use them.

How quickly are you ejaculating? A lot of men think they are ejaculating quickly when they really aren't. Premature ejaculation is defined as ALWAYS or NEARLY ALWAYS ejaculating within 1-3 minutes.

The average time for ejaculation is less than one minute to over 30 minutes, with the average being 5-7 minutes. Have you tried masturbating before sexual activity? Does that delay anything?

If it's truly PE, talk to your doctor before using anything. There may be a medical cause.
